Oxfordshire MinorEye Conditions Service.

The service is funded by the NHS and is available from local opticians throughout Oxfordshire. Please click Primary Eyecare Oxfordshire Service to read the leaflet

You may be aware that we had a recent incident where a violent patient caused a lot of damage at the surgery including smashing up the patient check in screen, signage, lighting and one of the iPad’s used to issue car parking permits.

We would like make all patients are aware that we have a Zero Tolerance Policy regarding violent, aggressive and threatening behavior. This will not be tolerated and any such patients will be de-registered and asked to find an alternative GP surgery. In very serious cases, patients are put on the Violent Patient Scheme which means that they have to access Primary Care services at a secure center.

BACK TO SCHOOL Children pick up all sorts! Please visit the Pharmacy first.

If you have a rash or think you may have chicken pox, please inform the receptionist either on the phone, or at the reception desk when you arrive.

This is a Public Health England campaign to get young people immunised.

NHS England care.data

There are changes coming in how we protect the information that we record in your medical record. The changes make it a legal obligation for us to share your information. The proposed benefits of sharing identifiable data are to help plan and monitor effective patient services especially where you may receive care from several different organisations. Please see the Patient Advice tab to the right which provides further information.

What do you need to do?

If you are happy for NHS England to direct the HSCIC to extract, store and manage your data you need do nothing. The information will automatically be taken from our computer system.

If you do not want your information to be taken you must tell us and we are able to block the upload of your identifiable and personal information.

If you are happy for your data to be used by HSCIC for anonymised reports but not shared with other agencies or companies in identifiable format, let us know so that we can add an alert to your record.
